81 sincerely hope some appropriation
will be made for q patrol wagon, during
the present year." said Chief Smith. The
department needs one very much. Our
city has grown too big for officers to lug a
drunken man or woman through the
streets; the sight is not a pleasant one for
the public, and it dOeSen't improve either
the health of the offender. or the temper
and disposition of the officers. There isroOm
enough in the rear of the City Hall for Il
stable for the accommodation of a wagon
and q single horse, which could be cared
for by some one about the building, and
the wagon could be called either by tele-
phone during the day, or by n strike on
the fire alarm bell at night. Often officers
find a helpless drunk out in East Wheel
ing, over on the Island, or away down by
Caldwell's run, and there is no way to get
them to the lookup except by the use OF n
~wheelbarrOw OF an express wagon. The
need OF a wagon has been urged upon
Council for years, and | hope the three or
four hundred dollars necessary for the
purchase of a horse and wagon will he APP
prOpriated."

"Ifeither the prohibition amendment, or
House Bill No. -, prohibiting the manu-
facture or sale OF liquor 20 through" said
a prominent city official, Council will
have to increase the city levy to an even
dollar. Besides that, the Water Board will
lose about $40, 600 of revenue, and the Gas
Works will likewise be materially affected.
The city can not get along with any less rev.
enue, il street improvements are to he kept
up, and the $40, 900 of license money will
have to be made up by increasing the levy
on real and personal property. The levy Is
now 80 cents, including the ten cents laid
for streets, and that causes a good deal OF
kickingamOng tax payers. Thirty or forty
cents more would raise quite a row, and
vet we would have tO stand it OF suffer
very serious curtailment in the
matter OF expenditures. To
enable Council to increase the levy the
Legislature would have to grant us addi-
tional powers, rs we are up to our tax
limit now. This isn't all, either. The
State license tax amounts to quite q large
sum, and the State tax would have to be
increased Mt least five cents on the 500
to cover the deficiency there, and the
county tax would also have to come up a
notch. The matter is one for grave consid-
Grafton by our people"

THE Republican scheme to carve out n
new ward from the Sixth and Eighth, in
order that the caucus crowd
may fasten their grip on the
city for an indefinite period, shows
that the leaders are making some rather
4, hrewd and ~far-reaching moves" said an
old Councilman yesterday. The Leglsla-
ture will probably block their game, but
under the Act of March ~, 1SS2, the COun-
ell can add two more members 10 the Sec
oud Branch, and | predict that they will
do it. giving one to the Island and the 9TH
er to the Eighth ward. That would bring
the Second Branch up to the full
limit OF thirty members. OF course
such a move rs this wouldn't 90 into effect
for " years, tO-wit, at the Rext city cleo
ton, but it would give them that much
more chance of keeping Council Republic
an, and these refOrmers are not the men to
stop at a little thing like injustice. They
would very much prefer, however, to carve
a new Ninth ward, takinga small slice
of the Sixth and a bigger piece OFF the
30 as to make the new ward dead
sure Republican. Why, do you know
there has been serious talk Of dividing the
Seventh ward ut the line of Zane street, IN
order to make the town Republican? It's
a fact"

Except the Life Of Lincoln and the

the author Undertook journey Of 49,

Russian Minister of the Interior admit
ted him to the principal mines and
prisons, where he became acquainted
with some three hundred State exiles.

accurate revelation Of the exile system.
The many illustrations by the artist

who accompanied the author. will add
greatly to the value of the articles.
